I would like to prevent the user from closing a userform by clicking the 'X'
on the right side of the titlebar. I need to force closure by using a
command button, and running an exit procedure. Is there a property setting
that will prevent this / or run the exit procedure when the 'X' is clicked?

D.S.

DS,

You can use the QueryClose event procedure to catch the form's
closing via the 'X' button.

Use the form's QueryClose event. This has 2 arguments, Cancel and CloseMode.
CloseMode tells you where the close originates from.

vbFormControlMenu 0 The user has chosen the Close command from the
Control menu on the UserForm.
vbFormCode 1 The Unload statement is invoked from code.
vbAppWindows 2 The current Windows operating environment session is
ending.
vbAppTaskManager 3 The Windows Task Manager is closing the
application.


You can test this, and if it's from an unload statement, close else cancel

Private Sub UserForm_QueryClose(Cancel As Integer, CloseMode As Integer)
Cancel = CloseMode < vbFormCode And CloseMode < vbAppWindows
End Sub

Great, that will work. I found another method, but it's more complicated
that I require for this project.

Thanks,
D.S.

I would like to run my "cmdExit" procedure here, if the user clicks the
close button, but I haven't had any luck. I get a syntax error. Can a
procedure be ran from here?


Private Sub UserForm_QueryClose(Cancel As Integer, CloseMode As Integer)
'Prevent user from closing with the Close box in the title bar.
If CloseMode < 1 Then Cancel = 1
' < I would rather call my cmdExit procedure here, and omit the
following line
frmDataEntry.Caption = "The Close box has been de-activated! Please
click the exit button below!"
End Sub

D.S.

That should be as easy as

Private Sub UserForm_QueryClose(Cancel As Integer, CloseMode As Integer)
'Prevent user from closing with the Close box in the title bar.
If CloseMode < 1 Then Cancel = 1
cmdExit
End Sub

If cmdExiit is a button on the form, you would call the Click event and it
would then be

Private Sub UserForm_QueryClose(Cancel As Integer, CloseMode As Integer)
'Prevent user from closing with the Close box in the title bar.
If CloseMode < 1 Then Cancel = 1
cmdExit_Click
End Sub

Either of these work?

Thanks again. I forgot my exit code was triggered by an 'event'.
